WHO: Tupp and others
WHERE: Guzma's house and around Maurtia Falls
WHEN: 11/2 - 11/10
WHAT: Guzma forgot to feed his dog before porting out for a week
WARNINGS: Idk prolly Tupp being an ass like always
[It takes Tupp longer than it should for him to realize Guzma is gone. The Boss is his own man, so when he's doesn't come home a night or two Tupp doesn't give it a second thought. (This is someone who ported out and doesn't even realize he got new Pokemon after all) Only when he needs to message him for some dumb small unimportant thing does he realize that he can't find him in his contacts anymore. That he can't reach the Boss at all. Only then does it dawn on him that the Boss might not ever be coming back home.
Tupp spends most of the week holed up in Guzma's place. Outside is getting far too cold and he'd rather stay inside where he can keep the heat cranked to 80 than freeze to death. It might help if he had proper clothes for the weather, but he's been making due with wearing a sweater under his team skull tank top and pants under his shorts. It looks dumb as hell, but he's got a team to represent!!
He does make short trips out and about when he has to though. Mainly for food since there really isn't anything to eat at Guzma's place, but he does go out also to meet up with other members of Team Skull. He chooses not to tell them of the Boss's disappearance yet, but he's stepping in to manage them in Guzma's absence.]

time 2...fix door...get boy a jacket...feed boy....
one more time, she checks her phone for sign of his name. seeing nothing, she sighs, foregoing knocking and just...opening the door and walking in to behold the empty room.
...that...isn't...empty...]
Ah-!?
[that lump on the couch. a trespasser?! her hand goes to Falchion's hilt.]
Who goes there!
Lu knows how to take care if dumb dogs
If the noise from opening a crooked door didn’t get his attention, Lucina suddenly yelling certainly did. He’s quick to move to a sitting position, glaring to Lucina.]
Huh? The hell d’ya want?
[It’s not as though he doesn’t recognize Lucina. How could he not after she made him shower and get some real food in the hospital. He’s just being a pouty bitch right now so she gets the cranky treatment.]
no subject
[that's the name, right? she blinks in surprise. honestly, she oughtn't be surprised at all, but she truly expected this to be a sad and vacant space.
...instead it's a sad and occupied space.
she goes a little red, realizing she's the one who barged in.]
...Forgive me. I...Well, I-- [she holds up her duffel bag.] I came to fix the door...Since I'm the one who broke it. I hope you won't mind.
no subject
Thought the Boss broke that.
[He shrugs looking away.]
Yo, do whatever. I don’t think it really matters though. Boss won’t care if it’s broke.
no subject
[this is a weird situation, isn't it? she expected to be puzzling over how-to videos on her own, not with the sulky audience over on the couch...
sulky is an understatement, too, isn't it? the poor kid...he adores Guzma, doesn't he? so going without must be...
Lucina sighs, setting the bag down, getting a drill and some metal bits out, taking a minute or two to size them up with the busted hinge on the door. she's never repaired a thing in her life -- not that it'd deter her! but...]
...Say. [she peers over Tupp's way.] How are you with power tools?
no subject
[He says giving her a dismissive wave and going back to his prior lump on the couch state though now laying in a way he could watch Lucina. Sulking is the best way to describe it, but it was more than just that.
With the imminent threat of the world ending, Guzma’s disappearance hit harder than ever. He was clueless on what he could even do about the world ending and it was hard to even fathom that it was real. Would he just... die? Without Guzma here he felt lost. There was Team Skull of course too, but it wasn’t the same without Zipp and Rapp. It was all just too much.]
Hmm? You don’t know how to use ‘em or somethin’?
[Considering she came over here to fix the door he figured she did.]
I’m alright with ‘em. It ain’t like they’re hard to use, yo.
no subject
I've never actually used one before. I'm more of a sword and knife sort of person... If I pass you the pieces and hold the door in place, would you be able to secure the new hinge?
[ah, that means...getting rid of the old hinge. realizing that, she floats up a bit and just.
yanks the metal plating off the wood.
there!]
no subject
I guess I got no choice seein’ as you don’t know how—
[He stopped, eyes widening as he watched her both just float up and yank that metal part off like it was nothing. With a busted hinge it probably was, but Tupp wasn’t used to people just casually using their powers like this.
Its different seeing Lucina bust in and save Team Skull. That was chaotic and expected. This was too normal of a scene. He shakes it off quickly enough though, literally by shaking his head in disbelief before going to the door and holding a hand out to Lucina.]
Yo, give it here. Let’s get this over with before you let all the heat out.
[Good thing he’s still wearing Guzma’s coat or he’d have been complaining much sooner.]
no subject
[he passes the drill to him, settling back on her feet so she can bend and rummage through her bag. she straightens back up with...way more stuff than necessary.]
I wasn't sure which one of these was the right fit when I was at the hardware store...so I just bought a whole variety! One of these pieces will work, yes?
no subject
Uh.....
[Does he even look like he’s used a drill in any capacity that wasn’t destructive before? He knows nothing about hinges, but even if some were shaped funny and varied in size they all did the same thing right?]
Shit, prolly. I don’t see why most of ‘em wouldn’t work.
no subject
so neither of them...are craftsfolk.
that's fine! this society is quite modern and convenient! the real answer is on the internet.]
Let me check the little guide I found...
[she holds onto the bag of metal pieces in one hand, thumbing through her phone with the other. where's that how-to guide...]
Ah! Here. Now-- [hm.
...
boy.
that's a lot of bullet points with a lot of different size ratios listed.
...are those ratios? she hasn't taken arithmetic in years...
...........................................................................]
...Well, anyway. [she tosses the phone back in the bag, opting to trust her instincts on this instead. she fishes out a piece and holds it out for him.] Let's just eyeball it with the working piece already in place, yes?
u know
stops for a moment when he comes across tupp in one of the rooms. for once, he decides not to be shitty.]
Yo, Tupp. Cold this afternoon, ain't it?
Waggles eyebrows
Guzma had moved Shady Factory and while it was still being worked on, the process went a lot faster with all the help he had this time around. It wasn’t finished before he disappeared, but the important things were basically done.
Instead of telling the other grunts of Guzma’s disappearance, Tupp spun it that he had over exerted himself too soon and he was just getting his deserved rest. He of course peppered in a few comments about how shitty the grunts didn’t do more to fix this place up and from there started directing how he thought it ought to be finished.
He’s actually checking out a fireplace in one of the rooms when Archie find him. It wouldn’t be good if he accidentally burnt down another building...]
Eh? Whaddya doin’ here? Uh... Archie, right?
[He gets up from his squat to turn fully to him, the little shit lord is wearing one of Guzma’s coats.]
Shit though, it’s been cold for a while now.
no subject
no subject
Nah, a few of the rooms have fireplaces though.
no subject
So Nanu casually steps out of hiding, looking at his flip phone all casual to run into Tupp. ]
Oh, look who it is. Tupp, haven’t seen you since Guzma was in the hospital. What do you have there?
no subject
Obviously the next step when you're hungry is to just head out and mug a dude for a hotdog or two. He perks though hearing his name and looks up grumpily to Nanu.]
It's none ya business, that's what. Whadd'ya doin' here old man?
no subject
Anyway, just in the neighborhood.
[He doesn’t have too much hope for tupp and doubt that good influences will help him. And he doesn’t have any respect for him either, so he takes out a cigarette and lights it. ] Haven’t seen Guzma lately, have you?
no subject
He visibly bristles at the question though as a more sullen look crosses his features.]
...No, I ain't seen the Boss in a while now. Yo, If yer here for him, he's not here.
no subject
Do you know anything about where he might be?
[He looks him up and down. He looks like more of an idiot than usual.]
You have his coat.
no subject
[Nanu it is too cold out here for dumb questions! Tupp's visibily shaking in the cold, his coat and layers of clothing isn't helping him enough.]
Yeah? So? He left it behind.
no subject
He's not reachable by the comm. When was the last time you saw him on it?
[Nanu tapped his fingers on his arm irately.]
Went somewhere in this weather but didn't need a coat?
no subject
Yeah exactly, that's what I meant when I said I ain't got a clue.
[He's getting a bit irritated now, a mixture of hunger and being cold. He's so close to Guzma's place anyways.]
Shit I dunno, it's been a couple days. I got back to the Bosses' place, but he wasn't there. He still ain't there.
